Argentina 2018 Home Kit Concept All Squad

Argentina 2018 Home Kit Concept

The first kit ever worn by Argentina, in their official debut against Uruguay in 1902, included a light blue shirt. On 2 July 1908, Argentina debuted a shirt with light blue vertical stripes on a white jersey, which they used when they played a side formed of Campeonato Paulista players at Velódromo Paulistano; they used the jersey in an official game against Uruguay on 13 September 1908, and the striped jersey has remained as the definitive kit for Argentina ever since then.

The team's away kits have been in dark blue shades, with the colours of shorts and socks varying from time to time.

When the World Cup in Russia came around, the tournament was a disaster for the Albiceleste. Argentina competed in Group D. Argentina drew 1–1 with Iceland during their opening World Cup group match, with one goal scored by Sergio Agüero, and the other one by Alfred Finnbogason, an underwhelming performance that drew heavy criticism, especially towards Sampaoli. In the next group match, Argentina suffered a heavy 0–3 loss by Croatia due to "a defence left exposed, a midfield that was overrun and an attack that was blunted", which put them on the brink of elimination and led to unconfirmed reports that Sampaoli would be sacked.

The match against Croatia was Sampaoli's 13th game in charge, where he had used 13 lineups and a total of 59 players, and despite a myriad of attacking choices the defence was poor. Sampaoli remained in his position, as Argentina defeated Nigeria 2–1 in the third group match thanks to an 88th minute go-ahead goal to advance to the knockout stage. In the round of 16, Argentina lost to France 4–3, despite an initial 2–1 lead as they conceded three successive goals, and was eliminated from the tournament.
